  1. So, I played in a band for a lot of years. We wrote and recorded music, which was ostensibly our business along with live performances. We’d get $500-$1k/night in our two main cities but we could only really play there once a month or two. We’d spend say 12 grand recording an album and another 3 on manufacturing a thousand or two copies of the CDs which we’d sell for $12, and I’m not going to do the math but it doesn’t work out. We sold t shirts that cost us a couple bucks to make for $15-20 and that’s how we actually paid for everything. Is the idea because we weren’t in the clothing business, someone else could just make shirts with our logo and name and whatever on them and sell them and keep all the money? I get why we don’t want people to just call dibs on everything but if you… create the value of a brand I don’t get why someone should be able to just take that and take your business?
  2. At least when you were drinking you had an excuse.
  3. does the licensing business run on something different than the concept of the trademark? I guess intelllectual property? Is brand not that, and are the words and slogans and logos and etc associated with the brand not... that? I guess, if the idea that trademark is meant to identify SOURCE OF GOODS means that it doesn't protect the value of the brand of an institution being applied to clothes and sold, then wouldn't that have enormous ramifications outside of the realm peddling t shirts for pederasts?
  4. available now
  5. to me that looks like a telecaster that a certain member of the paul butterfield blues band took a dremel to
  6. Yeah I'm confused by that as well - what does it mean to be "in the clothing business"? My assumption is that every Longhorn I see on a piece of clothing sold... not on temu or whatever resulted in some licensing money going back to the school. My assumption is that that is a big business, and the revenue for the school is not insignificant. How is UT or Penn State not in the clothing business?
  7. Jesus. That Mike Bloomfield had a keen eye for aesthetics when it came to his teles. Here's GE Smith with another one of them
  8. I feel like I could get brisket to draft a will for me pro burrito if it included clause about having a tamale lady and tray of allsups chimichangas at my funeral
  9. 96 DM, my first guitar. I took it to the guy because the binding was coming up a bit and the previously repaired crack on the top looked like it needed some attention ^^ from forever ago when it was my office guitar, every now and then I’d have to spend an afternoon in the workroom that was an otherwise empty floor
  10. wait did brisket die
  11. Hey hey I didn’t say that, my wife said that. I want the fancy zojishiwhatever rice machine. Oh yeah rereading that - needed a sarcasm tag. The creemi is needed but not a rice machine 🙄
  12. We have a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer because my wife loves whatever gadget is the thing (we also have a ninja creami that I completely forgot about and an unused zojurishi bread maker I should use, but a rice maker is a waste of space so we don’t have that). I would use it almost all the time for oven stuff I can fit on a quarter sheet except my wife doesn’t like to keep anything on the counter except the toaster and coffee maker, so I don’t use it at all.
  13. lol my marine master 300 is a monocoque case and is good for a very consistent +20. I assume they at least regulate the grand seikos. i need to bust out my old king seiko chronometer. That one is nails and is the closest thing I have to that little squarish gold old school dad watch.
  14. I haven’t bought a watch or worn anything other than my speedy for more than a couple of days at a time for years but I kinda want to buy this. Which would kick off a chain of events leading up to the purchase of a vintage omega that I definitely don’t need
  15. We live in Wake Forest near Raleigh, where there is a Chuys. There are some actually pretty good taco places out here (and a torchys not far from where i live) but I have not found a decent plate of enchiladas outside of my house. We got Chuys takeout the other night, it was fine, the enchiladas were not great but they never have been. What was great was the fucking chips. I don't know if I also just haven't had good restaurant chips in a million years but I can't stop eating them.
  16. lol I haven’t paid attention to kicker at all, I didn’t even think about just dropping him but yeah he has not been anything special I had a streak of a couple losses but I’m back in the w column, 8-3 in 5th with 1st and 2nd place at 9-2.
  17. i need to drop someone to get a kicker. this is a 14 team league, it's just garbage out there - Adam Thielen is the highest rated available WR. Which is why I'm feeling a little bit of pain at getting ready to..... I think the smart choice would be to drop Rashod Bateman and the choice that i feel like making is to drop Keenan Allen. I should drop Bateman right? I guess alternately I could drop one of the QBs. But then I find myself having to drop Stroud and I don't want to drop Stroud, even if he hasn't been a great fantasy option and won't likely be a great fantasy option this season.
  18. shouldn’t that one be pink too
  19. Daikin lick my balls
  20. you can still use promo code JOEROGAN
  21. lol those vintage Gibson evaluations are all just what you would now pay for that model new
  22. don't regret picking up jonnu smith, don't regret sitting Pitts because Smith was projected to get like .5 more points than him
  23. I kinda like the 4 way switch on my deluxe tele, it’s just another sound to have the pickups In parallel. But I don’t know if I’d go out of my way to have it. This would definitely be a “go play one, see if you need that 4th sound”. I certainly don’t miss it in my Isbell. The knob switch is pretty unobtrusive, I’m not sure if that’s how they are always or usually done. i am certainly not going to talk you out of a blues jr but just to make sure you know - it is not a quiet amp. Master volume works, so go sick, but also I’ve had it on stage with a loud band lots of times without having to come close to diming it.
  24. Wife thinks that things dry by having the water fall off of it and onto a towel. Which is trivial but I keep explaining that the water needs to evaporate and she keeps putting giant wet bowls upside down on a towel (which…. just dry the bowl off) and then if I fuck with how she has the food processor arranged to dry (because I’m going to end up putting it away at night) “why are you fucking with it???”. Trivial but here I am drying shit off in the morning that should have been put away forever ago. also, ordered this, which I think is heavily advertised on social media- cause her bag is old. Her old bag? A still pristine Briggs and Riley.
